Sharp Shocks in Arizona and Texas
Mountains Topping.

A Tucson, AriZ., special to the Philadelphia
Press, May 3, says sharp shock or earthquake
felt at IL this afternoon, driving people into
the streets in the widest terror Buildings
swayed nearly 30 degrees. People became sick
from nausea. Little damage was done to build
1ngs. From San Catalina Mountains, North OF
the city, dense clouds OF dust arose. Portions OF
the mountains torn away from the crest were pre-
cipitated over 1000 feet to the base. There were
three volumes Of dust at intervals OF from three TO
four miles apart, which indicate that large por-
lions OF the north side OF the mountain were de-
tached. The earthquake lasted one minute and
forty-two seconds. Many clocks stopped In the
city. The shock seemed to come from the SOUTH
east. The wind was from the west, thermometer
81 with not cloud in the sky. There was rum
bling sound in the atmosphere. There have been
i've more slight shocks since the first.
oDoR OF SULPHUR PRRCEDEs TEXAS SHOCK.
A telegram from FL PasO, Texas, May ,, says: A
shock OF earthquake was plainly felt here at 3:OS
pm. to-day, the vibrations lasting about two min
utes. 1t was perceptible In every portion OF the
city and the shock so alarmed the citizens that
only tnvalidS and the helpless were lett within
doors. For probably two minutes preceding the
shock many persons recognized the offensive smell
articles hanging on the walls oscilated and fell 10
the floor, while plaStering fell from the fronts and
ceilings OF many dwellings and business houses
At the courthouse evidences OF the shock were
quite dfscern1ble. Clocks were stopped and build
fngs were cracked. The first impression was OF d
vertical oscillation. This lasted only lev sec.
ondS. Then minutes awful calm was follow ed
by very pronounced horizontal wave-like motion.
No serious damage has resulted in this neighbor-
hood.

The Nationals covered themselves with glory
yesterday by defeating the New York Giants,

were surprised at the result, but many others
who have watched the excellent work OF the home
team felt that they deserved victory before this.
Whitney and Mack were the battery for the home
team, and right well did they do their work. Mack
Is improving with practice, and Is now in good
form. Farrell played remarkable game at second

covered third base. The former fieided cleverly,
Notwithstanding an error in the ninth inning. he
also maze clean three-bagger. O'Bren was
little nervous but distinguished himself by lifting
the pail over the left-feld fence for a home run.
Shocks Judgment OF batted balls has materially
improved and he Is very clever at throwing to the
nome plate. But for stumble in the 9th inning
ne would probably have capture O'Rourkes home

In the house OF commons, last night, Mr.. Lewis,
conservative member for North Antrim, called
attention to he breach OF privilege committed by
the London Times, In charging John Dillon with
falsehood In his statement disavow1ng any con-
nection with Sheridan, the Invincible. MIR. Lewis
moved that the house take notice OF the charges
Speaker Peel said that ii the house decided that
the Times article was breach OF privilege, a mo-
ton could be made calling the offenders ~ the bar
Mr.. VIM II. Smith. on behalf OF the government,
moved that the house adjourn In order that queS-
lions Of fact might be argued. Mr.. Dillon said he
desired to have the question brought 10 an issue

course putting him on the defensive until his
cuSer was brought to the bar OF the house. When
the publisher OF the Tunes, declared Mr.. Dillon
stood at the bar, he CMr. Dillon would prove him
as base and oOwardly liar as ever existed.
Nj. Sexton said the Irish party had been chal-
lenged much lately, and had been tainted with
not taking up the challenge. Now they took IL up
and insisted upon an INQUIRY by the house The
house should let the aSSaied members have an in
Quiry by committee. "Then," said Mr.. Sexton ''et

Sir VIM. vernon HarcOurt said that, though os-
tenSfby Mr.. Lewis motion was against the Tunes

MI. Dillon.
Mir. Gladstone opposed the motion to adjourn
He said Mr. Dillon mad been charged with having
